Episode 3 San (actor Park Ji-bin, 後 actor Lee Seo-jin) rings the cymbal of justice to announce his grievance to the king and succeeds in stopping the king’s procession. San pleads with the king to take a look at a painting that Crown Prince Sado (actor Lee Chang-hoon) asked him to show to the king. With a stern expression, King Young-jo asks him how it could be possible for Crown Prince Sado to give him such an order. So San confesses that it was he who entered Shimin Palace against the king’s orders and then he begs the king to spare his father’s life. But King Young-jo is already enraged at San’s disobedience and has him arrested and taken away to prison. At that very moment, a messenger riding a horse tells the king that Crown Prince Sado is dead.
